A DEPRAVED nurse has admitted filming himself raping unconscious patients behind curtained off booths in A&E.

I am pleased that Hutchinson has pleaded guilty to his offences and spared his victims having to endure a trial to receive justice

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Johns

Andrew Hutchinson, 29, faces a lengthy jail sentence after he today pleaded guilty to 27 counts of rape and voyeurism on victims as young as 10 years old.

Oxford Crown Court heard how Hutchinson, from Garford near Abingdon in Oxfordshire, filmed himself carrying out the sickening attacks during which he stared gleefully into the camera.

He also kept a stash of the sordid videos on his phone and laptop.

Hutchinson even stole a medical camera used to film inside patients' bodies from his employer, which he then used to film up a woman's skirt as she stood by her stricken friend's bedside.

A judge heard how the sex-crazed hospital worker also spied on women and young girls as they changed at a local leisure centre.

The opportunist even took advantage of his position as a volunteer paramedic at the popular Wilderness Music Festival in Cornbury Park, where he groped two young women who had passed out in the medical tent, the court heard.

The senior nurse, who worked in the A&E department at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, was eventually caught by police in November 2013 after two young girls at the White Horse Leisure Centre in Abingdon saw him lurking around and became suspicious.

When police raided Hutchinson's flat, car and work locker they found a mobile phone, computer, a memory stick and a camera all containing footage of his sickening attacks.

Detectives also found 1,786 indecent images of children on his computer and phone.

Hutchinson's 10 victims, whom were all female, ranged between age 35 and age 10.

Defending Hutchinson, Claire Fraser described the sex attacks as an "addiction he has had over a number of years."

He showed no emotion as he replied "guilty" to all 27 counts.

Hutchinson, who had a girlfriend, was a trusted member of staff at the John Radcliffe Hospital, having joined the A&E team in 2006.

The court heard he was able to carry out the attacks because he had risen up the ranks to become a senior male nurse who was trusted to treat patients on his own.

He had no previous convictions and was thought to be a reliable and diligent medic.

Remanding the pervert in custody, Judge Zoe Smith said: "Much of this just confirms in effect what the defendant says in interview. He says this has gone on for a very long time, an addiction and it includes this sort of behaviour.

"I take the view the court should have such a report as to dangerousness. It is clear from his interview that this has been extensive behaviour."

Speaking outside court, Detective Chief Inspector Mark Johns, from Thames Valley Polic,e said he had "no doubt that Hutchinson would have continued to offend had he not been arrested."

He added: "I am pleased that Hutchinson has pleaded guilty to his offences and spared his victims having to endure a trial to receive justice.

"This has been a complicated and unusual case as the victims of his sex offences were not aware that offences took place because they were not conscious.

"Thames Valley Police sent specially trained officers to personally speak to all the victims, who showed great courage when informed with such distressing news."

Hutchinson pleaded guilty to two counts of assault by penetration, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity, 12 counts of voyeurism, two counts of rape, five counts of making indecent images of children, one count of outraging public decency, two counts of sexual assault and two counts of theft and one count of possession of a Class B drug.
